Activity Monitoring and Privacy:

Users of Del Mar College's information systems and networks acknowledge that there is no expectation of privacy while using College information resources. This applies to all activities conducted and personal information stored on the College’s information systems.

Del Mar College reserves the right to monitor, access, and review all activities on its information systems and networks — including network traffic, system logs, email communications, and stored files — without prior notice, to ensure compliance with applicable laws and Del Mar College policies.

Monitoring” in this context refers to network traffic scanning by automated network devices configured to detect malicious keywords, traffic originating from or attempting to access malicious sites, spam and phishing emails, malware and/or virus signatures, and abnormal traffic or deviations from routine usage.
